Republicans in North Carolina had a bang-up day yesterday overriding multiple vetoes from the Democrat governor, two of which were big hits to the transgender mafia.
I told you about the House overriding a veto on banning biological males from female sports yesterday. The Senate quickly did the same thing and that bill is now law. Big win.
Here are the other bills that became law yesterday via ABC 11:
Another bill that drew attention was House Bill 808, which would ban most so-called gender-transition surgical procedures for children.
HB 808 prohibits gender transition surgeries and puberty blockers for minors.
One of those was Senate Bill 49, the Parents’ Bill of Rights.
After the Senate voted to override, the House later overrode the veto of SB 49, enacting the Parents’ Bill of Rights into law.
“This legislation (SB 49) codifies the rights of parents and guardians to guarantee their direct involvement in their child’s education,” said Rep. Brian Biggs, R-Randolph, on the House floor during the override debate. “This bill brings much-needed transparency and openness to our schools.”
House Bill 219 and House Bill 618 were aimed at expanding access and streamlining approval of charter schools across the state, Republicans said.
“Education is not one-size-fits-all and charter schools are critical to ensuring families have the freedom to choose an education that best fits their child’s needs,” said Rep. Tricia Cotham, R-Mecklenburg, the co-chair of the House K-12 Education Committee and primary sponsor of HB 618. “By overriding the governor’s veto, these two bills help further our efforts to promote school choice, expand educational opportunities and put kids first.”
House Bill 618 gives more authority over charter schools in North Carolina to the Charter Schools Review Board. House Bill 219, the “Charter School Omnibus” makes various changes to laws affecting charter schools, including removing growth restrictions and allowing counties to use property taxes to fund charter school capital needs.
All in all a terrific day for parents and children in North Carolina. I couldn’t be more proud to be from the Tarheel state after this. If only we can finally elect a Republican governor to go with a wonderful Republican legislature…
